Portugal still makes me happy when I see flip-flop tan marks on my feet… As a Brazilian, I’d never thought about visiting the mother-land before and I need to thank my friend Alessia for that! For our 1-week tour throughout Lisbon-area we decided to spend our between Cascais, Belém, Sintra and Lisboa.
